Michael Dibdin
Description
Review "Dibdin belongs to that hierarchy of innovative stylists who make it a point of honor never to repeat a single trick." --The New York Times Boo

k Review"Dibdin has an ear for prose that is rare in the crime genre....[a] soaring imagination." --Washington Times "[Dibdin's] work deserves comparison with such . . . giants as Raymond Chandler." --The Portland Oregonian About the Author Michael Dibdin is the author of eleven previous novels, including The Dying of the Light, Dead Lagoon, Dark Specter, Così Fan Tutti, Ratking, and Vendetta (all available from Vintage Books). He lives in Seattle. From AudioFile Italophiles who haven't discovered Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen series have a great pleasure awaiting them. But Italian speakers will not be enjoying this recording by Michael Kitchen because he mispronounces nearly every Italian word in the text, including some names. This is extremely irritating, especially as the books themselves are imbued with LA VERA ITALIA. Kitchen also overenunciates as if he were on stage, so even if the reader doesn't speak Italian, there may be too much spit in the air to make this an enjoyable listen.
